LETTER TO THE EAGLES
Dear eagles,
I have been flying with you for the past two years. I have visited your nests and watched as you fed your chicks. I have observed your plumage changing through the year. I have been there whilst you were searching for a mate, hunting for rabbits and chased after foxes.
I have become invisible in order to get close without disturbing you. I have spent hundreds of hours hidden and have shared the emotion of listening to your mating call while having unexpected visitors: a friendly lizard, an amusing caterpillar, a singing robin or an absent-minded deer.
I know very few of you now remain, scarcely three hundred pairs, though I strongly hope that your silhouette never stops soaring across the Mediterranean forests.
Andoni
